• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Cool! :)

I'm curious -- if they aren't threatened, why are they never seen in private collections? Obviously they wouldn't be an appropriate captive for the vast majority of keepers, but some people keep salt water crocs... Why no gharials?

...Or is there a whole body of private gharial keepers that I'm not aware of? ;)

What a difference 1 shed makes.....

Thought I had a few too many :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:, when I saw this.
Not the 1st time I have seen it happen, but not an everyday thing either, so is always kind of cool when it happens.
